Big Hearted Herbert is a 1934 domestic comedy film starring Aline MacMahon and Guy Kibbee as a middle-aged couple.

Herbert Kalness has worked hard to build up a successful plumbing supplies manufacturing company from nothing.

Meanwhile, Alice has fallen in love with and wants to marry Andrew Goodrich, a Harvard graduate and lawyer (both qualities Herbert despises).

When he brings customers home for dinner, she and the rest of the family act just as obnoxiously to them as Herbert had to the Goodriches.

Andre Sennwald, critic for The New York Times, called the film an "entertaining hearthside comedy" and praised Kibbee and MacMahon for their performances.
